So I’m trying to be conscientious of everyone and their budgets as I register for our first baby. I am currently listed for 2 (Target and Babies R Us) in hope that it makes for more convenient shopping for everyone involved. I’m having 3 showers (his family, my friends since I don’t have family in the states, and work). We make more than his family, or mine and I want everyone to feel comfortable making purchases. I also don't want anyone to feel as if I'm asking for too much. It's a delicate topic. SO… Is this a good amount of product or too much? Is it realistic? Too expensive? If you were a guest coming to one of the showers would you feel as if I were being too greedy?
Thanks so much in advance for your feed back!
Here they are…

Editing to add that my parents bought the crib, mattress, dresser and changing table. So that’s taken care of. I’d buy it all myself, and don’t really care if I have to. I just don’t want to limit people. The only thing I might get sooner, rather than waiting is the carseat, since you never really know when you’ll need it, and its kind of importaint….
Also failed to mention that I directly report to the owner and CEO of my company and I feel as if they’ll get me a larger item for the work shower. So I feel as if I have to have something larger for purchase if that makes sense.
Thanks for your "help." I'm not really certain what you mean by obsolete as we plan on having more children and will therefore use these items again. Cribs and car seats aren't disposable where I live…
My registry is a list of items that I would purchase even if no one bought them for me. I don't need gifts. I can buy this all and it won't affect my finances. People would want to stab me, as people really do want to have a village feel in a new baby. I'd welcome any gift, and really even a card if that were all they can afford. It is not about the gift, it's about celebrating my new baby!
Oh, and thanks for adding all this up for me. Now that I see the total, it's not that much. I have friends that have spent that much on baby furniture alone. But I guess this is like the Olympics and you're the Russian judge that low balls and nitpicks, and who's opinion just gets tossed out in the end. There's always the bitter, jealous, negative-Nelly, and here and now it's you…
Good Luck.
